This listing is for the owner's suite.

Please note that currently we have experienced flood damage and that the game room is no longer available and the entry, entryway and hallway have been impacted. I currently do not have the variety of games and other outdoor activities / supplies due to flooding. The home is still available and the units themselves were not impacted. However, if you choose to rent, please understand that there will be some areas that are not finished, construction may be present (but I will communicate that with you), and that the handrail for the first set of steps is missing due to the lack of drywall at this time.


2 bedroom and 2 bath home with Ocean Vistas. Fabulous location within simple walking distance to the beach, Publix, stores, splash pad, the park and eateries. Some of our favorites are the BBQ home, OKI Coffee Shop, OKI Scoop Shop and 49th Street Bar and Grille. We are located one block from a public beach access. We have everything you could need in one spot! You are also within walking distance of the Oak Island summer activities such as bands, movies in the park, the new skate park and splash pad.

Another benefit is complimentary parking! Starting April 1st, the town will be charging $20 per day for beach parking. This home gives you beach access without any additional costs since you are just steps away from the ocean.


If you want the best vistas, rent this section of the home! You can also contact me for a discounted rate for both levels, giving you 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, room to sleep 24 people, 2 completely outfitted kitchens, 2 living areas, and 2 private decks.

We decided to give a nod to one of our favorite college teams, the Appalachian State University Mountaineers, and bring our mountain appreciate a little closer to the ocean. The name of our home is "NEER the SeA", with the "A" in traditional AppState fashion. Both of my parents are from Boone, and both attended AppState. My Mother was a humongous AppState fan and a lover of Oak Island, so my son and I decided that the name of the home was the ideal tribute to her and her legacy.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in Oak Island. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Ocean Views, Brand NEW, < 2-minute walk to Beach, Great Location! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
